Tim Ho Wan East Village - New York, New York

Food was amazing. It is the cheapest Michelin star rated restaurant out of all of their chains. Highly recommend the pork buns, and steamed pork rib with black bean sauce. The server was helpful and service was quick.

Tim Ho Wan consistently delivers quality service and occasionally surprises with their dishes. I’ve visited many times, but on this occasion, we explored their gluten-free options for a friend. All their shrimp dishes are excellent, particularly the fried bean curd, steamed rice roll with shrimp and Chinese chives, and steamed shrimp dumplings. For the adventurous, the braised chicken feet with abalone sauce and peanuts are nicely balanced in flavor. However, the congee with pork and preserved egg portions have shrunk and are less satisfying. The service is systematic and quick, making it a reliable spot for a dim sum craving in the neighborhood.

Felt like dim sum for brunch and went here. Everything was pretty good, but the standout was the siu mai and the bean curd wrapped shrimp.
Fast and polite service. Will definitely be back.

Clean and bright atmosphere, menu is easy to understand but don't have that varieties of dim sum choice and nostalgic experience as old China town places used to offer. Food taste good but not super.

Delicious dim sum spot. It’s casual, easy to get in on a Friday night. The food is so tasty and service is very quick. Highly recommend the bbq buns!!

Truly excellent, albeit limited dim sum menu. Pretty reasonably priced for Manhattan.

Bathrooms could be cleaner.

P E A C E !

I haven't gotten all my dish as I'm writing this, but the rice rolls and radish cakes were super soft. I'm used to a little chew so having them melt is more overcooked than a nice melt. I can barely pick up the radish cakes without them crumbling. The deep fried pork dumplings were strangely extra sticky to my teeth. Again, I've had them more chewy. Presentation of the food isn't giving the "Michelin" that I read online, maybe that was changed and I didn't know. Except the spicy wonton, they did look good. They tasted ok. I think I'm not a spicy wonton person because I'm not a big fan of chili oil so I can't blame that. Warning: they're super slippery cause of the chili oil and kept slipping off my chopsticks. Final statement, I've had dim sum I like better elsewhere. It's funny because I got disappointed both ways: 1) reading the 5* comments then eating it was disappointing; 2) there were comments disliking it and I wanted to give the place hope. It's not bad! It's just not worth it the price to me. My last dish though, the taro sago coconut milk dessert, it's too simple to go wrong so 5/5* for that to average 3/5*.

Oh apparently, the most recommended dish is the BBQ pork buns which I didn't eat, so maybe everything else is meant to be meh so that shines.

We got har gow, 2 siu mai, pan fried noodles, steamed rolls, and the spicy dumplings
I like the siu mai and har gow! Not a huge fan of the steamed rolls, they tasted a bit refrigerated.
Got the sesame mochi for desserts and I like the exterior crunchy texture but the filling inside was pretty empty…
